Don't let Victor's family go through summer without electricity and water

Victor is behind on electricity and water bills after a reduction in hours and needs $100 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity and water account is 3 months behind. Victor received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $100 is paid. He had never been late before a reduction in hours. Victor called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $25 first, which isn't available. The household includes a disabled brother, and going through summer without electricity and water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. Victor is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Victor's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $100 goes: • Gas arrears: $45 • Reconnection and late fees: $15 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Joy
